i agree with street. if he keeps riding this bike till he cant use it. then by that time well be much better and strong er and then you might be able to get away with a haro or something, then the next step up would be a sunday or anyone of those brands. nothig in specific there pretty much all the same now a days.

when he gets much better on the bike he is and you gett him tat one step up. get him a lighter one and spend a little more money on and hell be able to do everything he can now but better. faster. higher. and easier.

but really ive only been riding for 2 year and am just starting into a pro bike so take my advice worth a gain of salt
